Don't get me wrong, it's always good to have your girls. But having guys as your best friends is truly the greatest thing ever for these reasons and many many more.

1. ADVICE ADVICE ADVICE

Who better to get guy advice from than an actual guy? And vice versa! Doesn't it just make you feel a little better knowing that there are guys out there who are getting their girl advice from someone who knows what they're talking about?

2. You never have to eat alone

Secondly, they are always and I mean ALWAYS down to get food. Any time, day or night, I can guarantee if you send a text in the group chat asking anyone if they're hungry, someone is.

3. They're usually down to sit around and do nothing (aka play Fortnite)

Sometimes you're just not in the mood to go to the mall or the movies or really do anything at all. Good thing you can hit up one of the guys and sit around and play Fortnite (or observe Fortnite). Or just sit around and do absolutely nothing.

4. Substantially less drama

Yes boys have feelings, but they sure are a hell of a lot less dramatic about showing them. This one may just be me but I am not a big "feelings" type of person. Sometimes it's just nice to have someone who hates talking about their emotions and loves avoiding drama just as much as you do.

5. Being "one of the boys"

I know I know, being "one of the boys" is a bad thing right? WRONG!!! I couldn't be more grateful to have the group of guys that I have as my friends. Nothing makes me laugh harder than half the nonsense that comes out of their mouths. Yes, sometimes you do have to remind them that you are indeed still a girl and some things they really should just keep between the guys, but most of the time, being "one of the boys" is pretty great.

6. They call you out on your shit

Arguably the greatest thing about being close with a group of guys is there's no beating around the bush when it comes to your best interest. They are truly looking out for you when they tell you not to go for that guy or that you're being overdramatic in a fight with your friend. Yes sometimes they can be harsh but they usually end up giving pretty sound advice.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
